/vr/ - Retro Games

What the hell?

Xenoblade Chronicles released last year. How in the hell is that "vintage"? You might as well call Borderlands 2 vintage. Even going by the Japanese release it hasn't even been half a console generation since its launch.

Nevermind, I don't even care any more. I retreated to retro gaming to get away from the sheer insanity of the modern gaming scene, and shit like this is the perfect example of what I hate about it. Horrible corporations taking advantage of clueless kids and mislabeling stuff in the endless pursuit of profits. No doubt some naive 14 year old is gonna think they stumbled onto a "classic" and drop $90 or whatever the fuck they say it's worth.

(Not bashing Xenoblade, I actually liked the game, but GS acting like it's some rare collector's item is bullshit, especially if the rumors that it just got a 2nd production run are true)
